When did you start your blog/business?

What triggered you to pursue your dreams and begin creating the life you want?

I was dissatisfied with my life and started to feel like a victim of my circumstances. Rather than dwell on the things that were wrong, I decided to start doing some personal development. That was the single most important decision I made. My life is not completely different, and I’m much more satisfied overall.

I enjoy the freedom. My lifestyle comes with a lot of responsibility for the outcomes, but it also comes with the freedom of being able to change the course of things at any time.

How are you living out your purpose?

I’m working in industries I love on projects and businesses that inspire and fulfill me.

Describe an a-ha moment.

The biggest challenge has been staying focused on outcomes and being patient with the processes.
